thanks,

the output just shoved on to the screen is:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integerp nil)
  set-file-modes("/tmp/#edit.php#" nil)
  tramp-set-auto-save-file-modes()
  run-hooks(auto-save-hook)

so i take it that the ftp user i have logged in as is not allowed to write
to /tmp.  i wonder of this is trying to save it on the remote server.

what i need to do now is find out how to set the autosave function to save
to the local machine.

thanks for your help - it'll help me track down further problems,
